Andy Harris Exhibit
SUN-MADE
In October, our Vault Gallery will feature mixed media by Virginia artist Andy Harris.
SUN-MADE is an exhibition of new, original collage works that explore the dual role of the sun, highlighting its power to nurture life through photosynthesis with simultaneously eroding the vibrancy of pigments. The process in which the paintings were created mirrors the balance between creation and destruction inherent in nature.
“Through the meticulous layering of diverse materials, I seek to elevate the ordinary to the extraordinary, inviting viewers to reassess the overlooked fragments of their surroundings.” - said Andy.
